Electrochemical studies of anionic and nonionic micelles with dyes and reductant in photogalvanic cell containing Dye-Reductant and Micelles. The photovoltages and photocurrents in photogalvanic cell containing a Rhodamine 6G-EDTA and NaLS as micelles has been determined. The photo-outputs Rhodamine 6G-EDTA-NaLS are higher than Methylene blue-EDTA-TX 100 cell. The conversion efficiency of the Rhodamine 6G-EDTA and NaLS in photogalvanic cell has been estimated to be 1.265%. The photopotential and photocurrent generated, Fill factor and storage capacity of the photogalvanic cell are determined. The effects of different parameters on electrical output of the cell are observed. The mechanism has also been proposed for the generation of the photocurrent in photogalvanic cell.
